Re: crossmember info
Yes if your truck is 2wd you will have to change it to a 4wd cross member. You don't have to pull the engine, but I can tell you it will be 100x easier to just pull it and get it out of the way. I'm sure you could do it with it jacked up with a cherry picker still hooked to the tranny, but it won't be fun. And the crossmember isn't welded in place, it has rivets that hold it in. You either torch them out, or use a chisel, air chisel, grinder, or cut off wheel to cut the head off. Then you use a punch and knock them out.
